As I explained in this post, I’ve been ordering a lot of Amazon fashion for work. And, since the first day of Spring is Wednesday, I’m glad I started early! Now, I’m really ready to begin the new season!

When You Can’t Go to the Mall

Though I spend a lot of time online shopping, my favorite thing to do is go to the mall. I grab a Starbucks latte (for this Seattle girl, it’s like comfort food! lol) and meander through the stores, looking at the latest styles and just getting some free time. There’s just something relaxing about going to the mall.

However, for the last month, all my free time has been taken up cleaning and painting and sanding to get our downstairs unit ready to rent out again. After a lot of damage done by our last tenant, it has been a huge task to renovate. Since we really need income from that unit to pay for all the damage we’ve had to repair, that has been the priority. So, no mall visits for me lately. But, never fear! Amazon to the rescue!

Since I have seen quite a lot of blogger friends sharing great finds from Amazon, I decided I would try my luck. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the results.

Shopping on Amazon for Work Clothes

Most Amazon fashion items I ordered for work are available with Prime shipping. Prime has been totally worth the cost for us. Not only are we able to ship most of our Christmas presents to family with free Prime shipping, but we order different things we can’t find locally multiple times a month. They get here with free shipping in only two days. It was only natural that I finally try more fashion items.

Here’s the catch though – I don’t have the kind of budget that some people have for clothes. If I buy an expensive item, it’s because I know the quality will make a difference in the long run. Otherwise, I try to keep costs under $30 per item.

Most of the Amazon faves I’ve seen from blogger friends are more casual, but my closet is built for work. This haul reflects that. I wanted to see if I could find quality pieces appropriate for the casual work environment and still keep it under $30.

All of these items are under $30 and most are under $20.

I’ve broken it down below into the following:

• Bottoms
• Tops
• Accessories

My Amazon Fashion for Work Haul

Bottoms

Flared Midi Skit:$20 (free shipping and returns with Prime)

Important facts: Beautiful color and it is lined, but it is still a little too see-through for me. Also, note that there is no stretch in the waist.

Size: I would usually order a M, according to the size chart, but I ordered L instead. It fit well. I probably could have gone down a size too and been ok.

Colors: I ordered the regular “pink” color but it comes in 10 colors!

Pleated A-line Swing Skirt : $30 (free shipping and returns with Prime)

Important Facts: This was one of my absolute favorite items ordered. It’s GORGEOUS! If I didn’t have a very similar skirt, I would have kept this one. It is not see-through and the skirt swishes very pleasantly! The top is elastic, which makes it very comfortable.

Size: I ordered a size L (two sizes up from my normal size) and it was just right. The size chart is accurate from what I can tell so check it before you order.

Colors: It comes in 4 colors. I ordered it in pink. The pink is quite vibrant!

This designer also makes a slightly longer pleated skirt you can find HERE. It’s also quite lovely.

Pleated Polka Dot Skirt: $19 (Prime Shipping and Returns)

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve seen this skirt a few times already. It’s definitely one of my new favorite things! I love the bright yellow! It just makes me happy!

Important facts: The lining on this skirt doesn’t come down as far as I like. I wish it was a little longer. However, because I love the color so much, I just add a slip and then I’m fine. The other thing to note is that every time I wear it, it feels pretty static-y. Now…I have been unusually static-y lately (no idea why) so it could just be me. But, you’ve been warned.

Oh yes, and the good news?! It has pockets! Score!

Size: I ordered my normal size, a S and it fits. It might be a little more comfortable pulling on and off if it was a M.

Colors: There are 7 colors and I want them all!

Tops for Work

Ruffle Sleeve and Ruffle Hem Floral Top:$10! (free shipping and returns with Prime)

Important Facts: I was obsessed with this top and, yes, you read correctly! It’s only $10! The pretty ruffle sleeve is a playful touch and the length is just right in back. It would be the perfect top for spring if you like an over-sized fit or usually wear a Medium or larger. The fabric is very soft and thin, but not see-through.

Size: Runs Large. This is a S and it was still a little too loose to be flattering on me. I did return it.

Colors: It comes in 3 colors. This color combo is both soft and vibrant. Compared to the next one, this one has more corals, pinks and yellows.

Short Sleeve Floral Peplum: $17 (free shipping and returns with Prime)

Important Facts: This one is very similar to the last one, without the ruffle sleeves. It’s a silkier fabric and very comfortable. I have been wearing it frequently and it goes nicely on its own or under a blazer or jean jacket.

However, I will note that there is no designation on the inside to tell you which side is the back. This drives me nuts and I put it on backwards almost every time. Anyone have a good way to remedy this without writing on the shirt?

Size: This one runs a little smaller. I ordered a M in this one and it was about the same size as the S in the previous floral top. I eventually exchanged it for a S.

Colors: 8 styles available. The pinks are darker in this pattern than the last floral peplum.

High Neck Ruched Bell Sleeve Peplum Top: $22 (free, non-prime shipping)

Important facts: This one took much longer to ship than the others. In fact, I wasn’t sure when it would actually come. But, when it got here I fell in love!!

It is see-through so I wear it over a tank. The sleeves are a little short but I like this since it makes it easier to show off watches and bracelets. The rushing on the front is so flattering and the ruffle at the neck (which I forgot to untuck after doing my makeup! sorry!) is beautiful. It even has little puff sleeves!

Size: I ordered a M and it fits well, though I might recommend sizing up two sizes (to a L for me) because it is fitted anyway and that would give more stretch for pulling it on and off.

Colors: 5 colors available!

High Waist Striped Midi Dress: $24 (free shipping and returns with Prime)

I realize this is neither a top or a bottom, but I decided to put it here.

Important Facts: I loved this. I really feel like you can’t have enough stripe options. I can see myself wearing this with a blazer, long cardigan, short cardigan, scarf, etc. It’s not lined, but also not see-through.

Size: I ordered a M, which is about what I would usually order in a dress like this. It’s a perfect fit.

Colors: It comes in three colors and would be great year-round.

Bonus: Accessories

Though these aren’t particular to the work environment, I felt like I should include them since they are all from Amazon. Plus, there are some good deals in here.

Wire Frame Round Oversized Sunglasses: $26.88 (Prime shipping, 1 day)

I bought these in an attempt to have a Chloe-like look and I’m satisfied with them. They sit pretty low on the nose, but I love the look and they do a great job of blocking the sun.

Even better, this retailer has Free one-day shipping and free returns. ALSO, if you scroll to the bottom of the Amazon page, there are coupon codes that allow you to get another pair of glasses free. (see the next pair below)

Plus, the glasses come in a nice case with a microfiber cloth and a little eyeglasses repair tool! Pretty good deal, if I do say so myself!

Tortoise Semi-rimless Polarized Sunglasses: $24.88 or free (Prime shipping)

These sunglasses came as a nice surprise when I discovered the coupon code at the bottom of the previous eyeglasses listing. Like the one above, it came with a case, eyeglasses repair tool and microfiber cloth. You can see me wearing this in last week’s post HERE.

Beaded Drop Earrings: $8.59 (Prime shipping)

My hubby got these for me as part of my Valentine’s Day gift and I am in LOVE (with both the earrings and the husband, of course!). They are the perfect size for me (not too over-sized) and they come in 16 colors and combinations!!

If you order only one thing from this post, I would say get these! I may need to get some more colors as we head into Summer!

And that wraps up this Amazon fashion for work haul! There were so many good things on Amazon! I definitely recommend checking them out!

What was your favorite from the haul? Definitely make sure to share with a friend who is an Amazon fan too!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
